Houhai, Wangyoucao Bar.
Just after 7:00 p.m., the bar was full of seats, and customers were sitting together in groups of three or four. They were talking and laughing in low voices, or drinking and playing cards, making the atmosphere of the night scene lively without being noisy.
"Wow!"
The bartender David had an exaggerated expression on his face, and asked Lu Chen who just came to the front of the bar: "Little boss, is this beautiful lady your girlfriend tonight? Can I ask her name?"
He stared at the woman following Lu Chen with bright eyes, as if he had discovered some treasure.
Although David is not a true Westerner, he grew up abroad, so his way of thinking is not much different from that of foreigners. When he sees what he likes, he expresses it directly.
If the other party was not brought by Lu Chen, he immediately tried his best to strike up a conversation and please him.
Lu Chen sneered and said: "This is my sister, if you dare to have any wrong thoughts, be careful that I will turn my face!"
"Sorry!"
David hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, making a pitiful look: "I didn't know this was your sister, may I treat you both to a glass of Tequila Sunrise?"
Lu Chen understood this guy's temperament very well, and said with a smile, "How about one cup? At least two cups!"
David said with a bitter face, "Okay..."
The bartender, who had suffered a lot, could only turn around to make cocktails in resentment.
Lu Xi was not angry.
It was the first time she was called a "beautiful lady" and thought the bartender was funny.
Looking at the surrounding environment curiously, she commented: "This bar is not bad."
The decoration style of Wangyoucao Bar is still very good. It is a little famous in the circle of Houhai, and most of the customers who often come here are of high quality. The atmosphere is naturally different from ordinary places.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "We have 5% of the shares."
Lu Xi knew about this a long time ago, and after Lu Chen's introduction, she already knew Chen Jianhao.
As Lu Chen's agent and studio manager, Lu Xi's biggest problem is her lack of experience. She has never done the same job before, and although she can look up the information, she still feels shallow on paper.
The explicit rules and unspoken rules in many industries cannot be found by typing on the Internet.
And Chen Jianhao just happened to be able to help her understand the circle that Lu Chen was in. He had always been an insider, and he had a wide range of connections in the circle. He had friends from all walks of life, so he had a lot of experience.
Lu Chen didn't know how powerful his boss was before, but he didn't realize how deep the boss was hiding until he jumped out of the bar.
So he asked Chen Jianhao to help guide his sister.
If there is any problem, it is very convenient for Lu Xi to call and ask for advice directly.
Now Lu Xi and Chen Jianhao can be regarded as half mentors and apprentices, but this is the first time for her to come to Wangyoucao Bar.
Today's day is a little bit special.
"Little Lu!"
Lu Chen listened to the sound and saw Chen Jianhao standing in front of the railing upstairs waving to himself: "Come up quickly!"
He hurriedly dragged Lu Xi upstairs.
The above is also full, but the VIP seats are basically reserved as usual, and four people are already seated in one of the seats.
Seeing Lu Chen and Lu Xi, they stood up and greeted each other: "Dachen, sister Lu Xi..."
Li Feiyu, Chen Xiaomei, Chen Xiang and Chen Xin, all the current members of Lu Chen's studio gathered together.
Plus Chen Jianhao, the honorary advisor.
Lu Chen said: "Everyone sit down, let's drink and chat."
Chen Jianhao frowned and asked, "What the hell are you doing? Are you all running over at night?"
The members of Lu Chen's studio are all here, as are the Wandering Band and Sister Na. When he came over just now, he met many old customers of the bar below, and everyone smiled mysteriously when they greeted each other.
As an old Jianghu, Chen Jianhao judged that there must be a conspiracy!
It's a pity that even David kept his mouth shut, no matter how intimidating he was, he would not open his mouth.
Lu Chen asked, "Brother Jianhao, do you know what day it is today?"
Chen Jianhao was stunned: "What date?"
He just remembered that today is Thursday, August 27th, what's so special
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You'll know later!"
He said to Lu Xi: "Sister, you and everyone have a good time here, and all the expenses at night are mine."
Lu Xi nodded: "Well, you can go."
Lu Chen said to Chen Jianhao again: "Brother Jianhao, let's go down."
Chen Jianhao was confused by him, completely confused, he walked downstairs and asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm going backstage to prepare for the performance, so many old customers have come, so you can accompany them!"
Chen Jianhao really convinced him: "You finally know that there are many old customers who are looking forward to your coming. Don't forget that you have shares in the bar. Sing a few more songs at night!"
Lu Chen is gone, the Wandering Band is gone, and Sister Na is gone. Now there are only two or three old faces left in the backstage group, and all the others have been replaced by newcomers.
Although the business of Wangyoucao is getting better and better, and it is often full even on non-off days, Chen Jianhao still misses the old feeling very much, including many old customers who have the same opinion.
It's just that time can't be turned back, the past has passed, and now Lu Chen and the others are flying separately, Chen Jianhao is also very pleased.
Lu Chen agreed: "Okay!"
Leaving behind Chen Jianhao, he went backstage.
It has been more than a month since the last time I sang in Wangyoucao.
But Lu Chen already felt strange.
The great room outside had been redecorated, with fresh gum paint on the walls and a clean look.
There are two more dressing tables for singers, but they are not crowded.
There were quite a few people inside, but few of them were known by Lu Chen.
"Lu Chen!"
Just as Lu Chen entered, someone called out his name immediately.
Surprised, Curious, Surprised...
Everyone's eyes were focused on him - this is Lu Chen
In the circle of bar singers in Houhai, Lu Chen is an out-and-out legend.
He has been dormant in the Wangyoucao Bar for the past few years. He was a waiter serving tea and water at first, and then suddenly burst out with amazing talent, soaring into the entertainment circle and becoming a rising star.
All three songs written by Lu Chen for the Wandering Band were on the original music charts, among which "In the Spring" topped the charts for four consecutive weeks, making the Wandering Band famous.
What makes people talk about it most is that this song was actually bought in exchange for 5% of the shares in Wangyoucao Bar.
A song by Lu Chen can sell at least 200,000!
And he himself is also very strong, participating in "Singing China" all the way through, and now he is the top 10 in the country!
Such an eye-catching figure, even if the singers present had never seen him before, he was well-known.
Isn't what Lu Chen is realizing is the dream shared by all of them
Lu Chen nodded: "Hello."
The other party is the resident singer of Wangyoucao, so he knows him a little bit, at least he can call her by name.
At this moment, the others came to their senses and surrounded him to say hello.
"Brother Chen, hello!" "Dachen!" "Hello!"
Lu Chen couldn't tell who was who from the eager and enthusiastic faces.
He clasped his hands together with a smile on his face, and responded, "Hello!" "Hello everyone!" "Thank you!"
If he hadn't been tempered by participating in the draft competition, he would really be easily confused by such a scene.
Lu Chen understood what these singers were thinking.
They just want to get acquainted with themselves, and even want to buy his songs.
Recalling the years when he was ignored and belittled in the bar, Lu Chen was really moved.
"Big morning!"
At this moment, Qin Hanyang, who heard the voice from the small apartment, helped him out: "Come here!"
Qin Hanyang stepped forward, how dare these singers continue to surround Lu Chen, and quickly made way for him.
The Wandering Band is very hot right now. It is said that commercial performance invitations are scheduled until next year. Qin Hanyang, as the lead singer and captain of the band, also became popular overnight, and is also an idol worshiped by countless bar singers.
In the area of Houhai, he is an absolute master!
It was already a great fortune to see Qin Hanyang and the wandering band in Wangyoucao tonight.
And Lu Chen had to be added.
Lu Chen apologized and came to the small suite.
The other four members of the Wandering Band are there, as well as Zhang Nana, also known as Sister Na.
"Big morning!"
Sister Na was still so enthusiastic, she gave Lu Chen a big hug on the spot.
But now, whether it's her or Qin Hanyang, the names for him have changed.
It used to be Xiaolu, but now it is Dachen.
Because everyone has changed, and each other's identities are different from the original.
"Sister Na..."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You are so beautiful now."
Sister Na's appearance is very ordinary, and with her age, she can even be said to be a bit ugly.
But now Lu Chen sees Sister Na, with exquisite makeup and high spirits, and her overall temperament is quite different from before. She has a bit more charm of a mature woman, and she is also quite attractive.
She convincingly proved that the reason why women depend on their appearance is correct.
Sister Na let go of her arms and said with a tiger face: "Then what do you mean, I used to be ugly?"
Lu Chen knew that she was joking, and said with a smile: "It was beautiful before, but it is even more beautiful now!"
Sister Na immediately beamed with joy: "You are the sweetest, have you coaxed any girls recently?"
Lu Chen shook his head and smiled wryly.
Originally, he wanted to invite Ye Zitong over at night, but after making a phone call, he found out that the other party had gone home half a month ago, and he would not come back until the beginning of school next month.
During this period of time, Lu Chen has been nervously participating in the competition, plus Zhang Luo's studio, album production, and network anchors, so the contact with Ye Zitong has naturally become very rare.
The relationship between the two became a little colder because of this.
This is also a helpless thing, it is impossible for Lu Chen to waste time on love and romance.
And he and Ye Zitong have not really established a relationship, it is very normal for such a situation to occur.
Even men and women who are passionately in love will be alienated by separation.
But tonight, Lu Chen didn't want to do it.
